Carbon Monoxide Detectodalmm; Emergency Towing; Windshield Wipers And Washers - Fleetwood 2008 Southwind User Manual

Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm
Your motor home is equipped with a carbon
monoxide (CO) detector/alarm.
If the detector/alarm sounds,
it
is an indication
that unacceptable levels of carbon monoxide gas
are present. This may occur in traffic concentra-
tions or in campgrounds where other vehicles as
well as your motor home are contributing to the
carbon monoxide level in the surrounding air.
Sounding of the detector/alatlli does not indicate
a faulty detector/alarm. The detector/alarm is
doing its job of warning you of potentially high
concentrations of carbon monoxide.
Test the CO detector/alarm after the motor home
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week during use. Please refer to the
materials included in your Owner's Information
Package.
EMERGENCY TOWING
The preferred emergency towing methods are
either an under reach wheel lift device or a flat bed
trailer. Most tow ttUck operators willing to tow
motor homes will be familiar with these devices.
Be prepared to give the tow (tUck operator at least
the following infOllliation when you call:
Length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear. Towing from
the rear will cause serious overloading of the front
tires and suspension, possibly resulting in tire or front
suspension failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the load imposed by lifting from
the rear.
A.
WARNING
DO NOT crawl under or place any part of your body
under a vehicle that is being lifted. Stand clear of all
towing equipment and the vehicle being lifted.
On The Road
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either
on the rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy
duty dolly. Consult your Chassis Operator's/

insttUctions. Contact the chassis assistance cen-
ter prior to calling a tow company to receive
tow ins(tUctions and possible assistance with
coordinating the tow.

Use only a windshield washer solution that is rated for
a minimum of -20 degrees F (-8 degrees C) to prevent
damage to the system from freezing up.
